After the success of Vampire Savior: The Lord Of Vampire, Capcom released two special updated games in a few months for the Arcades (in Japan only). The updated games are known as Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire and Vampire Hunter 2: DarkStalkers Revenge. The two games have alternative background stage colors, minor gameplay tweaks and changes to the characters' move lists. The Dark Force power has been tweaked to make the characters Ex special more powerful and more surprising.

The two games have different character rosters, Vampire Savior 2 has replaced Jon Talbain, Sasquatch, and Rikou with Donovan, Huitzil and Pyron. In Vampire Hunter 2, Jedah, Baby Bonnie Hood, Q-Bee, and Lilith have been removed (the character roster is the same as in Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge). Vampire Hunter 2 has the same soundtrack as NightWarriors/Vampire Hunter: DarkStalkers Revenge, with additional music.

The two updated games are not tied to the main story, the stories being "What if"s. Both games feature a few secret characters: Oboro Bishamon, Dark Talbain (in Vampire Hunter 2), Shadow and Marionette. Also, Dee, but only in Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection.

Vampire Hunter 2 has a secret title NightWarriors 2: DarkStalkers Revenge, which can be only used by hack. It is unknown if Capcom had originally planned to release Vampire Hunter 2 in other regions because of the title NightWarriors 2, but this never happened in the arcades.

Lilith was supposed to be in Vampire Hunter 2, but was removed for unknown reasons (she is playable by hacking, with missing sound assets).

In Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower, the name for Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2 were labeled as "Darkstalkers 3 SP" and "Night Warriors SP", in the hidden ending credits, and the gallery sections as well.
